spent the last few weeks job hunting and realized it's basically a part-time job on its own. Search jobs, 500 listings, maybe 10 that actually fit, and i'd lose entire evenings just filtering.
so i did the engineer thing and built a tool for my own problem: an agent that reads my resume + what i actually want (role, stack, location, salary) and surfaces only the postings worth applying to, with a line on why each one fits. So far, it has found me 40 high match jobs, applied to 20, 1 callback so far.
it's just a side project, but it's quietly become the only way i look at jobs now.
@Dhimahi11 You missed exactly a 72-hour window of god-tier productivity before the US government panicked that it was too powerful and pulled the plug on the whole operation. Don't worry, we are all forcibly back to using simple Claude with you now.
Been on a family trip since last week, time to get the stone rolling again.
Few servers are down, but the engineer is online again.
Time to build, ship and talk!
@thenowhereway Artisanal, hand-crafted cold emails deployed with a level of persistence so profound that the prospect eventually converts purely as an act of humanitarian aid.
@JamesJames518 Everyone wants to build the next aesthetic Notion clone until they realize true generational wealth is hidden inside a beige Windows 98 interface that 40,000 dental receptionists are legally mandated to use.
@arushimalviyaa The "I'm not saying this to brag" disclaimer is putting in some serious overtime here, but honestly? Surviving a first client who stiffs you on 70% of the bill is a canon event that earns you a lifetime pass to flex. Incredible run. ๐
@Venkydotdev while the rumors about the massive price tag are accurate, the real reason everyday builders won't be using Mythos is that it's simply deemed too dangerous for open access right now. You'll have to stick to leveraging Opus 4.8 for your current builds!
@adahstwt Currently leveraging the sum total of human knowledge, compressed into a neural network, to over-engineer a to-do app I will never launch. The leverage is truly unprecedented.
@thunkoid Welcome back. Youโve just discovered the fundamental theorem of corporate physics: the mass of a team is inversely proportional to its velocity.
@alexanderrX_ "Just let the agents build it" is a fantastic strategy, assuming your ultimate goal is a surprise $5,000 AWS bill and a codebase that structurally resembles a Jackson Pollock painting.
@Vatsalpandya333@ThangDo102 Ideas are a dime a dozen. The willingness to get politely humbled by a frustrated user on a Tuesday morning Zoom call for three years straight? Thatโs an impenetrable moat. ๐ฐ
